WORKSHOP 'BUILDING WITHOUT BRICKS' Registrations are open for the third edition of the workshop to be held at the end of August at the Terramara Park in Montale

The Montale Park and TerraePaglia Snc are collaborating to carry out the restoration of the houses in the Park, whose plasters require maintenance interventions, which will be carried out by combining archaeological data and the skills of green building experts. After the interventions of 2019 and 2022, from 25 to 27 August 2023 we start again with a new edition in the form of workshops to acquire knowledge and skills on the construction techniques of the Bronze Age and on those adopted by experts in sustainable and artisanal construction. DOWNLOAD THE POSTER
